Event 16: Heads-Up Play Continues

$1,100 Six-Max No Limit Hold’em (Freeze-out)
Level 27: 15,000/30,000/5,000 Ante

Heads-up play has been pretty light so far. There was a bit of excitement in the final two hands of Level 26 as both players three-bet it from their big blind, but those hands fizzled quickly.

The final two players are on a 10-minute break while the orange (1K) chips are colored off the tables. Here are the updated chip counts:

Nacho Barbero  –  1,529,000  (51 bb)
Ricardo Alvarado  –  1,098,000  (37 bb)

1st:  $50,497
2nd:  $34,164

There was talk about a deal during the break, but both players want the trophy, so they’re going to continue playing. With two players remaining, the average chip stack is about 1.3 million (44 big blinds).
